Role Delegation

52,794 sites Security covered Drupal 10–11
View on drupal.org

This module allows site administrators to grant specific roles the ability to assign other roles to users, without requiring full administrative permissions. It introduces granular permissions for assigning individual roles or all roles, making user role management more scalable.

This module allows site administrators to grant specific roles the authority to assign selected roles to users, without them needing the administer permissions permission.

For each role, Role Delegation provides a new assign ROLE role permission to allow the assignment of that role.

The module also adds an assign all roles permission. Enabling this permission for a role is a convenient way to allow the assignment of any other role without having to check all the assign ROLE role permissions on the permissions page.

Drupal 8

If an administrator has one of the the assign {{ role }} role permissions or the assign all roles permission, a role assignment widget gets displayed in the account creation or editing form, and bulk add/remove role operations become available on the user administration page.
